When I'm not helping clients, you can find me traveling and exploring new destinations.

What my clients are saying

Jo is an amazing realtor. She looked after us and provided excellent service, from my initial email asking about a listing to closing day. I love working with people who enjoy what they do, and do it with a smile. Always answered my calls and questions promptly. She is a true professional and I highly recommend her.

We first met Jo over two years ago when my parents were buying a house in Virginia. Jo was so amazing and patient with them that when we got married and decided it was time to look for our first home, there was no question who we would be calling.Jo has become so much more than our real estate agent. She’s an amazing friend and part of our family. You can tell she loves what she does and genuinely cares about her clients. She’s there at all hours of the day (seriously, she wrote us a contract once in the middle of the night) and we never felt pressured to make an offer. When we weren’t 100% in love with a place, it was Jo who helped us keep looking to the future and not settle.We love our home. Every day we wake up and can’t believe it’s ours. The process was so smooth and with Jo it was way less scary than we thought it was going to be because we knew we always had her to rely on. Even now I’m still texting her for help!There are so many good things to say about Jo and so little time, so you might as well make her your agent and see for yourself.

Jo did a great all around job. She listened to what we wanted, she adjusted her home screens to meet our criteria, and helped us find the house with all of our requirements and desires. She is knowledgeable about real estate, the Hamptons Market, and can lead you to the house for you. Homesnap is a great tool that she uses. Thank you, Jo!
